Mount Hope is a mountain rising to 3,239 metres (10,627 ft), forming the central and highest peak of the Eternity Range in northern Palmer Land, Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica, a part of the British Antarctic Territory (with unrecognised claims by Chile and Argentina), over twice the size of Cerro Vinciguerra, the highest mountain from the Argentinian side of Tierra del Fuego. Following a 2017 survey, by the British Antarctic Survey team, Mount Hope was found to be higher than previously thought.[3] It is the highest point in the British Antarctic Territory and the claimed lands of the United Kingdom.
